How To Build A Great Team And Free Yourself From Your Business

In this episode of the Inner Entrepreneur podcast, host Paul Ryan addresses one of the biggest challenges faced by successful entrepreneurs and CEOs: attaining the freedom to focus on important business and personal goals. He emphasizes that despite implementing systems and procedures, the root problem often lies in the company's culture.

Drawing inspiration from the rigorous standards of the Navy SEALs, Paul explains how creating a high-performance culture through respect, responsibility, and accountability can lead to significant improvements in both business performance and personal freedom.
